Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has written a second letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging him to take “prompt and necessary” actions to cancel the diplomatic passport of Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna, who is facing charges of sexually abusing women.
He said that it is “disheartening” that his previous letter on the issue had not been acted-upon, despite the gravity of the situation.
The chief minister earlier on May 1 had written to Modi urging him to move the Ministries of External Affairs and Home Affairs to take swift action to cancel the diplomatic passport of Prajwal.
Earlier, The Janata Dal (Secular) leader HD Kumaraswamy during a press conference had appealed to his nephew and party leader Prajwal Revanna to come back to India and face the investigation. Prajwal Revanna is accused of sexual assault by at least three women, who lodged police complaints against him. He has not returned to India from Germany since the last week of April.
Kumaraswamy further stated that sex scandal has dented the image of the former prime Minister H D Deve Gowda.
A Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the case notified the Interpol for information on the Hassan MP.
